Going Places… again!
Posted 3 months, 2 weeks ago. 1 comment.
Just a quick post to let everyone know that I’ve updated django-geo to version 1.1. This adds a number of enhancements, foremost of which are in the geocoding components.
Previously, to save myself time and effort I had used the excellent geopy‘s geocoders to lookup co-ordinates for a place. This worked well; as long as all you need is co-ordinates. What if you need to get the precision of the result? You don’t want to be zooming down to street-level if you’ve got a city-level geocoding response. It’s near impossible to deduce from a latitude/longitude (in the way they were stored) how precise a result was. So, I’ve written my own suite for geocoding that makes it ridiculously easy to get all kinds of juicy data from any XML geocoder you can throw a stick at, and make new geocoders in only a few lines of code.

Sidebar Creative redesigns, too!
0 comments‘Tis the season to redesign it seems. Again, lovely work (fantastic colour scheme + attention to detail) — but, what else would I expect from such a talented set of developers?

Django Plugables
0 commentsYet another one of Bryan‘s astoundingly cool sites that “brings all of Django’s pluggable applications under one roof”. django-geo is on there too (as well as on github as of today, too) :D

Everyblock — About our maps
0 commentsReally interesting (and, thankfully, techie) post about how Everyblock put together their fantastic maps. I’ll certainly be checking out some of the stuff on there (I had no idea that there was this kind of stuff freely available as open-source — I was under the impression I would have to roll-my-own in future projects!)
